weird how people say “ice rink” even though thers like no other type of rink. also more importantly what the fuck is a rink 

roller rink……

clearly a “rink” is any sort of zone where you move around in strange footwear

Origin of rink: 1325-75; Middle English (Scots) renk: area for a battle, joust, or race / Middle French, renc.

meet me in the fucking renk

I like how everybody is paired off haha

I FINALLY FOUND OUT WHY THIS HAPPENS. You see this all the time when there’s a fight or a scrum and suddenly everyone pairs up with a member of the opposite team and they just sort of …hold each other.

Someone on reddit asked about it. And it turns out there’s a logical-ish reason:

all of the other players pair off with their man to prevent anyone else entering into the fight … so it’s a form of self policing. 
[…] The players basically want to prevent 2 on 1, etc. fights and by finding a “hugging” partner so there’s no ganging up on one guy, even on accident. They do it because it’s fair. And it’s kind of cute sometimes.

so now we know! it’s fair…and cute.

NHL: You need to prevent other player’s from joining in the fight, make sure to hold them back

Hockey players, hugging: Got it.
